Quick question/concern
I have been dating someone for a month and they are aware of my positive hsv 2 status. I have never had an outbreak but we use condoms everytime. Last night we had sex and after I noticed something on my vagina and now I am worried I may have had an outbreak but didn't know it!! If it is an outbreak..is it inevitable that he contracted hsv 2? We did use a condom but I know that might not be completely helpful if I was indeed having an outbreak!! Please help!!
Although it costs a bit, many find the Westernblot test for HSV money well spent to find out. Anything else is probably speculation; unless you can get a sore swabbed?
No I did mean I haven't had an outbreak...I could be one of those people who has but does not realize but I have never had anything obvious.
That is a high number, but still in the range of requiring a confirmation test such as Westernblot.
Sorry I interpreted your original note as indicating that you hadn't had an outbreak previously, but I misread that. if you've had a previous partner with HSV2 and outbreaks in the past then infection is very likely.

My number was 3.16...he used condoms but he does shave...so there was no hair to help!!
Folks can have multiple unprotected sex, even with a open herpes sore and not pass it on. Takes the right situation and area. If a condom was used and he does not shave, his pubic mount area would have some protection from the hair as can act as a barrier to some extent.
Blood test! Even though he knows I would still feel awful if I gave this to him! I have been trying to find some sort of statistical data or percentage and cannot find anything!
